Case Study 2: Kingsman Scene Analysis
The scene i'm going to be analysing in Kingsman is the final bar scene. The scene starts with Non-Diegetic music and then it transitions to Diegetic music. The music that was being played was upbeat and it set a happy mood for the ending till the camera pans out of the tablet and on to Dean & Samantha.
The dialogue starts with Dean asking Samantha to turn the music off as it is annoying him meanwhile Samantha doesn't reply but huffs and puffs. The Diegetic music starts to fade away as the camera pans out of the two until a voice is heard. "I rather like that song". Here instantly the audience are left surprised as Eggsy has returned to the same setting to where he was in the beginning with the Kingsman who fought for him. This is an act of foreshadowing as it is showing us what Eggsy is going to do to Dean and the other guys.
Going back to the sound of the film, from the point where Eggsy makes a surprise visit, non-diegetic music fades in at 13 seconds of the scene whilst the previous diegetic music dims out. This is what causes the tension to raise awareness to the audience as Eggsy is in a tense position with Dean and 4 other guys surrounding him.
At 48 seconds the diegetic music fades out with a sustained guitar note. This is because Dean is not happy with Eggsy taking his mum to his new house and he shows a negative energy which brings the music to a halt. "Sit down you!" Dean exclaimed to Michelle. "The only place she'll be meeting you is at fucking hospital. Did you hear?" At this point of where this has been said by Dean, it sparks an initial idea to the audience that a fight is going to happen. As seen before in the 1st bar scene in the movie the audience has seen what Eggsy is capable of doing after assassinating Valentine. The sound mix is dramatic but with the vocals louder than the music mix in the background which helps the audience to focus on the dialogue between the two characters. Especially the point where Dean told Michelle to sit down, the non-diegetic music cuts out and a slow-string tremolo starts to creep in. This makes the suspense from before build up even more to make the audience feel the rush of adrenaline. At 57 seconds, after Michelle says Eggsy should go home the loud string noise stops and Eggsy replies with "Alright". The scene goes quiet for no longer than 1 second and Dean steps after Eggsy cussing him about a chicken he really is. As Eggsy stops walking, suspenseful music starts to play and this is foreshadowing to one of the early scenes with Harry (original Kingsman). As Eggsy locks the first lock of the door, the sound effect is accompanied with a dark horn/tuba sound, this was possibly used to create that the pressure is getting higher between Dean and the other troublemakers. Eggsy throws the cup at Dean's head and the sound effects that are noticeable are glass shatter and a light high-toned trumpet ensemble. In the sound mix of the glass hitting Dean's head, the glass shattering was louder than the trumpet ensemble; this was mainly because of how the director wanted the glass to sound like as it was travelling very fast and it made Dean pass out with a heavy hit.
